and then she saw her four-year- old come out with burned hair and that's when she realized that the garage was on fire. >> this was a tough one for us as an organization and for the family, we are here and we are trying to do anything and everything as far as support the family. >> reporter: we know that two other people were treated for smoke inhalation and we are unsure which one of the relatives it was but they were transported to a local hospital but they are expected to survive and we are told by a spokesperson that a grandmother tried to go in and see if she could get the seven-year-old girl but it was already too late. such a devastating story for this family. the arson investigators will come out to try to determine the cause of this fire.

through somebody started pounding on our door saying get out, the house next door is on fire. >> now the cause of that fire is still being investigated. and they are looking to loopholes that will go before a state senate committee and there are 8 separate provisions in this bill. one would ban large capacity ammunition magazines over ten rounds and the other would require anybody who wants to buy ammunition to first pass a complete background check and needing a new firearm sir kate for all -- certificate for all gun purchases. and the center will start debating the gun legislation today and first there is an amendment by democratic and republicans senators to gun shows and on line transactions. a vote on the background checks

probably will not happen until later this week. meantime, the bipartisan group of eight senators released their immigration reform and they are doing it out of respect for the boston marathon bombing. it would give the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, a 13-year path to citizenship. they would have to pay $2,000 in crimes plus additional fees and the program would begin only after steps would be taken to secure the borders. we are following developing news involving an oil leak in san jose. this is happening on metcalf road, we have a crew headed to the scene and we will get you more information on this as soon as we can but again metcalf road in san jose.
